Product Description
J S Bachs Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello are some of
the most famous works for solo cello. They are studied and performed by
cellists across the world, and have also been arranged for many other
instruments, including the ukulele. While this collection is not the
first ukulele arrangement of the suites, previous works have consisted
only of one or two movements: this is the most complete arrangement to
date, consisting of seventeen pieces from the renowned Cello Suites.
This collection is arranged for standard solo ukulele in re-entrant tuning (gCEA), and makes extensive use of campanella
techniques, in which successive notes are played on separate strings,
to achieve a bell-like quality and a fuller sound. The ukulele is
particularly suited to this style of playing, which gives a fresh style
to these famous pieces.

book is available both in print and as an ebook - the content is identical in both
